The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 477: Reason for Divorce!

“I had asked her to give me some time, and she did. We got married in the upcoming time as everyone wanted and as we have decided but it was really difficult too..” Jack was honest in his response which made Charles’s lips turn into a straight line.

He had no idea how to feel about this entire situation. His mind was currently racing back to the time when he had heard the news that Sierra was getting married.

At that time, he was fuming with fury. Not only that, how could he forget the time he had spent in the bar, in the home, drinking to himself, and not going out of the home for the entire week?

The work was piling up but he had barely paid any attention to the same. Even though he was stupid to do this, the heartbreak was hard to get over.

But something which almost made Charles tremble right now was the fact that Sierra was pregnant before her marriage!?!?!?

And....she knew about it too?

“S-so- t-the....child..” the image of him meeting the children, he had visibly remembered that there are two kids.

.....

One is a daughter named Ailey and the second one is...Noah.

Before his mind could even digest this, Jack had given him affirmation, “You are right. You are a father too. Noah is your child, not mine.” was the straight and clear-cut answer.

With the entire night getting deeper, the breeze was getting thick. Byt the coldness which rose to Charles’s brain wasn’t less than any other fact being admitted about right now.

No...how can he be a father...Noah...the child is his?!

As far as his thinking went, he can’t even believe that Sierra left him when she was pregnant. On top of that, she married and...didn’t even inform him about their child.

Why was she so cruel?

As if Jack had already read Charles’s thoughts, he had coughed a bit to clear his throat and say, “Don’t get her wrong. She was simply worried about you and your life. If she had put it out that she is pregnant, surely you would have not wasted a single moment to get her back to build a family.”

“But since Mr. Johnson was already against everything, she had no way to risk her own life, child’s life as well as yours. Moreover, if she had pre-informed you, Sierra’s heart which was so soft for you would have broken down too.” Jack’s explanation was also brought by Charles.

As if a clap of thunder was blooming in his heart, it got harder to even digest the information for now.

Subconsciously, Charles had raised his hand to bring it near his forehead to massage his brain. Nevertheless, nothing seemed to make any other response except or accept the facts that lay right now.

“Noah..Noah.. he is my son..”

“It is hard, I can imagine. But that’s the truth. He’s your son. But...I have raised him since his birth, Charles.” Jack’s words made Charles lift his eyes to stare at the man, “My love for him is intact. Even though we aren’t blood-related, our relationship is thicker than any wall.”

“Surely I can’t replace the blood relationships. But you will have to accept that as much as he is your son, he is mine too.” Jack’s clear-cut answer made Charles’s lips seal.

‘At once he is informing me about my son and at the second time, he is telling me who takes Noah’s son?’ Was this some kind of bulshit happening right in front of him?

But on the second note, it was getting hard to deny that the boy he saw earlier had a similar appearance to him. Although, he hadn’t watched it distinctly in the hope of not getting hurt, now since he learned, it was evident that the resemblance was much clearer too.

“Ailey, Your daughter with your ex-wife. And Noah is my son. Sierra actually raised him with you...despite knowing that I’m the father?” Charles had questioned again since it wasn’t easy to feel his own senses for now.

In response, Jack had one again tugged his hands into his pocket to give him a nod, “Not alone. In my entire family, he is recognized as my son. He is registered as Noah Shen so you can expect that....”

At this stage, even though Charles wasn’t interested to accept, he understood the scenario too well.

Sierra had wed him to hide her child from everyone’s eyes. To avoid defamation against her unborn child.

She took the step to marry without strings attached.

But the same can’t be said for Mr. Shen too who married without any feelings? Charles had hardly believed the same.

“You had fallen for Sierra at first glance, isn’t it true?” Even though Charles’s teeth gritted against each other, he had the audacity to hold much clarity too.

Neither did Jack hesitate to give him a firm nod.

Whereas, sadness and jealousy were already burning his heart. But there was no trace of acceptance either.

“You did and you asked for some time from Sierra. I believe you had the expectation that she will ultimately forget about me and live with you as a happy family.”

“That was my wish to be fulfilled. Unfortunately, your and her..love is so strong which didn’t even let me invade her barriers despite living for five years.” A chuckle had left Jack’s lips but it was on his own.

His feelings were genuine and after living with Sierra, they grew at a rapid speed. There wasn’t any doubt that he had fallen hard for his wife and with her each action.

Unfortunately, Sierra’s doors of the heart were always opened for a single man..and that was her baby daddy for sure.

Charles had relied on the silence of the next few minutes before he parted his lips to question again, “So.... Are you divorcing Sierra because of the promise which you made or....is it because of the circumstances where we are right now?”
